Yesterday, we talked about "Naturalized Athletes Talk", and the exchange led to naturalized athlete Zheng Ninali. Naturally, Zheng Ninali will lead to the Famous Chinese Star Zheng Fengrong.
Zheng Ninali is the granddaughter of Zheng Fengrong and is a mixed-race child. Naturalized from Canada to China, he went through the naturalization procedures three years ago, just in time to participate in the postponed Tokyo Olympics, and can represent China. Is this girl really lucky, is it the good fortune that her grandmother gave her?
In terms of blood, Zheng Ninali has half Chinese ancestry; in terms of nationality, she was converted from Canadian to Chinese.
She is most notable in that she is the granddaughter of Zheng Fengrong. And zheng fengrong is so good, China's high jump star, the first Chinese female athlete to break the world record. Now people don't know much about her, when I was a child, Zheng Fengrong's three words were like thunder. Her influence was so great that the country's supreme leaders, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, received her.
Zheng Fengrong's high jump posture is a scissor high jump technique, which is no longer familiar to people. It is no longer possible to see a high jump in this position. High jump technology is constantly evolving.
We most people jump high with a leap, this posture is too high center of gravity, it is not easy to jump out of good results. Pros don't. The scissors are more advanced than the leaps. The same point is that both jump with legs far from the pole; the difference is that the scissor foot and the jumping foot are the same foot, and the spanning foot and the jumping foot are different feet. Scissor techniques are more complex than leapfrog techniques.
Then there was the prone high jump technique. The representative figure of China's prone high jump is Ni Zhiqin, who broke the world record. The highest jump is 2.29 meters. It's hard to see anyone jump high with prone techniques these days. The technical improvement of the high jump is really fast.
Later, there was the back-crossing style, also known as the back-throwing high jump technique. The representative figure of China is Zhu Jianhua, who broke the world record three times. The highest jump is 2.39 meters. The high jump competitions we see now use this technique.
There is no shortage of high jump talents in China, and men and women have been brilliant. The woman's high jump seems to be particularly shining, and only Zheng Fengrong seems to be.
Cheng Nina's main event is the women's heptathlon. Yesterday, the heptathlon competition has begun. She has grandma's sports genes, how high she can achieve sports achievements, we don't know yet, let's first look at her Performance in the East Olympics.
